Default desktop icon
one day i had installed AOL program and it did not work so i have deleted it and went with freeserve. Now there is AOL icon remaining on my desktop and it will not go. If i right click on it, it gives me Open, Explore and shortcut. Open gives me file not found. Explore give me white page with all other icons from the desktop. Can somebody please tell me how to delete it from the desktop please. By the way it is Windows XP. Cheers. Xaz

Open notepad. Go to file & navigate to the offending file. Highlight & delete. That is suppose to work but no one will get back & say yay or nay.
